We have bought a house in France and the electrics are shocking? Bet you have never heard that before! Hope you all are helpful and sympathetic to our cause.

Permanent move.A second house or a move out there?
There are of course different regs but in general many procedures are pretty universal. When posting questions on this forum I,ll try to keep it specific to electrical generalities which are commonly shared and not French orientated, hope that helps.Most folks on here are familiar with the UK regs, not so many beyond that. @Mike Johnson is probably your best bet when it comes to French regulations as he has lived/worked there (I believe). From time to time we get a French sparky on here asking about UK regs, etc, but not so common.
Professional /commercial, not at all, we had one house in Normandy which we renovated whilst living there ( 10 years ) then moved to the Correze , buying a complex of three houses together, we have finished one and are starting on the other two., again living in a building site. Unlike or like other expats we cannot afford to employ tradesmen especially whilst I have enough skills and energy to continue. This is more of a lifestyle and not a business, the business parts maybe will be having two houses for gite or rental.Seems you have most bases covered, if you are on your third and forth renovation, you obviously are a professional/commercial renovator in which case you should employ professional tradesman to carry out the work you are going to sell on to clients with the indemnity of the professional ten year insurance required of any tradesman in France.
